[Q] data drops, aosp roms? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys, I have a question. I like aosp Roms such as aokp and others
Like pacman ROM. The problem that I am having lately is that I have to
Keep going back to my backed up tweak ROM because I get awful data
Drops when I am trying to listen to my ihart radio or Xm radio at work.
The signal were I work is not great but, with my touchwiz ROM it works better.
The APN setting look fine and say T-Mobile. Is there a technical reason
For this? I love the tweaked ROM, probably the best out. But I am not a touchwiz guy.
Any help would be great!! Thanks in advance

Man, I live in a crappy area in Yonkers New York and my data is very spotty at best but I flashed the latest Probam ROM for my Tmobile Note 2 and am here in Manhattan and getting 4 bars of LTE service, so I am convinced it's whre i live.

Yea, Im on customs roms too and it really hard to track down whether its the rom or the network. To me its one or the other and I usually just give it a quick reboot and everything gets worked out. Its a very subjective matter and hard to pin point down the problem. Based on my opinion, dont know which one it is.

So very happy to see that its not just me. I have an ATT Note II running on Tmobile. At first I thought that the difference between ATT and Tmobile may have been causing the difference. After playing with the mobile network settings for a while I noticed that the preferred network keeps changing to WCDMA after I set it to LTE. Im pretty sure that this points to a rom glitch. Anyway, please let me know if you find a solution

[REQUEST] Wifi Calling Patch for AOKP/CM?

Okay, so my mouth has been watering over AOKP since it came out. I love the build, but I can't use it at my house due to its lack of Wifi Calling. I've tried pulling the apk from stock Touchwiz, but to no avail. I didn't expect that to work, but its all I could think of. Would it be possible to create a patch to flash on AOSP ROMs that would allow for wifi calling? I've seen it implemented in CM7 on the HTC Espresso, (a device where the last official HTC release was froyo) so I have a little hope. So I'd like to ask kindly, would someone please help me or work with me on a solution? I have google voice, but it doesnt support MMS, so I cant troll anyone with my meme app I pretty much live in Deliverenceville so reception is a joke on any carrier Thanks in advance. I really appreciate any help.

I tried Groove IP, Google Voice, and Sidecar.. but none worked as well as teh Tmobile version.. if anyone knows of an app that could do the job.. please let us know!

[Q] NEW VM Samsung Galaxy S2 ROm ICS

Hi I know that virgin mobile just released the Galaxy S2 4g, but is that rom ICS 4 available to download anywhere?
I've been looking for it. Also can anyone comment on whether it would be compatible with the Sprint Epic 4g Touch?

They are interchangeable but you have to change the MMS setting to match their respective carriers

I guess I'm chickenshlt compared to you, you don't mess around, jump right in the water. What's the worse that could happen, right.
I suppose someone will eventually release it or leak it.
Exactly why I'm looking for it, sorry to hear your about your predicament.
From one of the threads on this forum, To have mms working, you need a patch that is available for the cm9 and cm7 roms.

Virgin mobile uses some type of proprietary framework for the mms.

You don't need a framework from an aosp ROM to use mms unless you're running aosp. Trying to combine aosp framework on a touchwiz ROM is brick city.
You just need to know the mmsc url for the carrier you're on and change it on your device to run any number of the various custom roms on this device.
Giving out potentially dangerous information is risky anyhow, especially when that information is wrong. It's a very bad idea, it could cause someone to lose their device.
Please be sure you know the information you're giving out is correct.

You're right I don't know what the hell I'm talking about most of the time, Agreed.
But I never said to use a aosp patch on the touchwiz rom as you mentioned. simply stating that cm9 has a patch.
That the touchwiz roms don't have.
I personally don't like CM9 or CM7. But using the gingerbread,ICS,jellybean or whatever I never was able to get my mms to work properly.
Probably cause I flashed a sprint phone to virgin mobile and it was missing some vital info from the Rom somewhere may be the 1192 file or other that holds something that the mms relies on. (only guessing don't scold me please!!!)
Anyway I basically had enough of virgin mobile/sprint spotty coverage where I live and switched to T-mobile and the T889 phone which is a million times better for me.
So Good Luck to all and best wishes.

MIUI Port Team

Does anyone want to form a team for MIUI porting? The ROM I have is working almost flawlessly, missing just signal. Everything else works (as far as I know). Anyone willing to help?
By the way, for helping me progress thus far, I couldn't have done it without xboxfanj. I'm a noob and am just getting the hang of this, hence, xboxfanj helped with most of this stuff.
MIUI is an awesome ROM allowing customizable themes that can change literally everything. You can change the status bar, lockscreen, home screen, and more all in just one app called themes. Plus, the ROM is super fast and has a lot of toggles, and much more to come with the help needed. Please, this ROM is one of my favorites, if you guys can help, it is much appreciated.
I can't help, but I'm curious as to what base you're using..CM or TouchWiz?

You are incorrect in your answer, it's already been done. So, my question still stands to the OP. As far as I know, patchrom currently only works with ICS however. Maybe you have sources beyond mine. Here's something to look into though. https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom

i think patchrom is to build from the miui source and might use some things from say sense or tw to fix things like wifi camera etc.. idk but ive never heard of miui built with a tw base. When i had a Epic 4g touch they said we first needed a cm7 rom in order to begin making a miui rom.

ah i see actually he just bundled some apps from tw like back when i had a galaxy nexus they had a touchwiz theme that included the launcher and s voice and some widgets. he said that he wanted to add some sammy features to miui so he did lol see tw roms use a different framework and most apps wouldnt work on miui however some people have taken there time to port over launchers and apps and put them there roms.
its like the opposite of putting https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5taXVpLm1paG9tZTIiXQ.. on a touchwiz rom
They have touchwiz based miui on the international note 2, and the at&t note 2. I had it running on my sprint note 2 the other day, but was unable to get the radios to function properly. I had signal, but couldnt select the network I wanted it on and apns werent fuctioning properly. Miui v4 is supposed to be based on stock rom, not aosp, its just easier to port aosp than incorporate it into stock.

I used CM beta (before alpha 1). xboxfanj helped me get partial signal working. There was 3g at first, but then something about sim card activation came up, and then i pressed dismiss..and well.. that made me lose signal. After that I got signal but with emergency calls only.

(To reply to what you were saying in the post)
Indeed we do have a starting point. However, I used the updated version of MIUI for the int'l model to port. It's literally almost done. Only flaw is signal as far as I can see at the moment.
If I remember correctly, aren't all of the Note 2's basically the same thing with the exception of the modems and Networks? (GSM vs CDMA?) Isn't the International version using GSM?

I had that issue before, but I decided to undo the changes and just stick to emergency calls only at the moment. However, I didn't use the aosp version. It's not as easy as just changing stuff.

Having troubles with signal on Cyanogenmod 10.1

I've been out of the Android game for awhile, so forgive my noobish questions.
I dont seem to be getting good signal at al.? The value fluctuates quite a bit (95-70, but usually 80s), which is really bad compared to when I'm on stock. Anyone else feel the same? It sucks because I absolutely love Cyanogenmod but I don't get anything more than 2 bars ever.
Is there a modem or something I can flash to get better service (I can't seem to find something about good ones)? While I'm asking questions, I might as well ask: How do I flash a modem? Is it as easy as flashing a zip from recovery immediately after installing Cyanogenmod?
Thanks in advance guys.
AOSP ROMs will display your LTE/EVDO/eHRPD signal strength while TW will only show 1x strength. That's why it seems like your signal strength is worse but it's really not.

Is there a way to fix that? And by fix, I mean is there a way to just display it on my phone the same waY TW does? I know it's not correct, but I would like to see more signal bars for my sanity.

Not that I know of. But I'm sure you could get a widget or app that will show your 1X strength.
Latest CM 10.1 gets no GPS signal for me. Data's never been excellent but decent. Also reboots randomly. Yikes!
Ya Samsung made this phone to run TW, I have pretty much accepted that fact as much as I like AOSP. I'm just going to have to buy a Nexus if I want it. So thank God for people like rompnit so I can turn a TW ROM into a complete AOSP look with MOAR.

To answer your second question, yes. Flashing a modem is as easy as flashing the zip from recovery (doesn't matter what ROM you flash, baseband is independent of it)
What you wanna do is head over to freeza's stock rooted thread and download the firmware flashable under "MD4 Firmware". Then just boot into recovery and flash it...and your modem is now up to date! Freeza also has flashables for the other modem's, so I would highly suggest going through a week with each one to find out which works best for the places that you frequent / travel to and then flash that and stay on it :thumbup: :good:

What phone do you have? What version did you flash? Did you do a clean or dirty flash? Did you come from a different ROM? You need to give more info.
I have an Epic 4G Touch. It was a clean flash. I was on version 4.4.4, bit the lack of data was a deal breaker. And I made sure the flash of the kernal was clean. I probably did something wrong since I'm relatively new to all this.

The build date is what I was looking for. If you are on the latest build, which is the 9/30 build, Data and MMS works. Data and MMS has nothing to do with the kernel. I have been on LS for a few months, going back and forth from Commotio. Data and MMS worked on all build except one. Post a screen of you "about phone" page so I can see the build and kernel you are on. Also you need to be on an ICS modem such as FL24. If you are still on GB27, then you will not have Data or MMS no matter what you do. What carrier are you with?
Well as of now, I just rolled everything back to stock. I'll attempt another flash later today. I'm on Virgin Mobile. I know their device runs off Sprint towers. I'd actually have to wait a week to test data capability since my service lapsed yesterday morning so I'm not even connected to the network anymore. Thank you for taking the time to answer this by the way. I probably sound like a total idiot.

Nope, not an idoit at all. I just uploaded a tutorial on how to go from stock to KK. Check it out as it will help you for all KK ROMs. You will know that Data works by looking at your pulldown. Where the data is it should say "Sprint" or "Virgin Mobile". The kernel on the latest build of Liquid Smooth will not let you create a backup. Some guys have since fixed "Extreme Kernel" and most of us are using it on a few different ROMs. You will need to be on a 4.4 ROM such as, Commotio, Vanir, CM11, for the kernel to work. Also understand that there is no "4G" on 4.3 or 4.4 ROMs. If you would like to be able to toggle between both 3G and 4G, then you will have to stay on 4.2.2 ROMs such as PACROM, or WFTN (Wild For The Night). I would suggest you look at some videos before you do anything just to get a feel for this. @qbking77 has a ton of vids for this specific phone. Check them out as they will help you. The main thing you need to remember is make sure that anything you flash is for E4GT/D710 and not a different phone as you can brick your phone. :crying:
Well once I get my service back and running again, I'll definitely be looking into it again. I was using the Dirty Unicorns ROM and loved it, with the exception of data loss. 4G isn't a concern for me since I live in an area where it isn't available. Shocker I know. Not even Verizon or AT&T have 4G coverage here. But thanks for the advice. This was actually my first time successfully flashing a custom ROM.

With that being said, the 9/30 build has working data as well as anything before 9/1. The official 3.1 has working data.
